There is no debug.keystore in .android folder

Someone I'm helping with an application needs to locate her debug.keystore - mine is in my .android folder, but when I navigate there on her computer it is not there.

Does something need to be done in order for it to appear? Where is it / how can it be generated again?

Solution 1:

According to the documentation, performing a build in Eclipse or using ant debug should automatically generate ~/.android/debug.keystore.

But in case this doesn't work, you can create one manually by running:

keytool -genkey -v -keystore ~/.android/debug.keystore -storepass android -alias androiddebugkey -keypass android -dname "CN=Android Debug,O=Android,C=US"

Solution 2:

If she is using Eclipse then go to Windows -> Preferences

Select Android -> Build

There you will see Default debug keystore: "Path"

See if you can locate it there.

Solution 3:

You can create keystore using this command..

keytool -genkey -v -keystore ~/.android/debug.keystore -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000 -dname "CN=Android Debug,O=Android,C=US"
